Stupidity: Paul Manfield (Arthur Pope) and his family have been hiding from and eluding the FBI for fifteen years, but Paul gets so intoxicated one night that he loudly sings "Pretty Woman" walking toward his house - where neighbors could hear - and yells that he is not Paul, he is Arthur Pope.

Suggested correction: People do seriously stupid things when they are drunk, and Manfield/Pope is very, very drunk.

Other mistake: Mr. Phillips told Michael (Danny) that he'd like to hear him play on his "Steinway at home", but didn't say when or give Michael his address, but Michael was able to ride his bike to the Phillips' house. Michael was in this new school (and State) for only one day, so it seems unlikely that he'd know where Mr. Phillips lived. (00:26:33)

Trivia: There are a lot of misconceptions about palm trees. Two major assertions are: (1) palm trees are NOT trees and (2) palm trees are grasses. The latter might prefer to call palm trees "grass trees." The answer of what palm trees are lies in its categorization as a "monocotyledon plant" (monocot for short). Monocots are grass and grass-like plants whose seeds have ONE (mono) embryonic leaf. That does not make palm trees grasses - they are monocots, as are grasses, orchids, some grains (e.g, corn).
